Markstrom turned aside 34 of 37 shots in a 5-3 victory over Winnipeg on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom surrendered a goal in each period, but given the volume of shots he faced, the 33-year-old had a fairly good game. He's trying to bounce back after posting a 23-21-12 record, 2.92 GAA and .892 save percentage in 59 contests last season. Markstrom might start again in Saturday's road contest versus Pittsburgh.

Markstrom is set to guard the home crease Wednesday versus Winnipeg, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom had a 23-21-12 record, 2.92 GAA and .892 save percentage in 59 contests last year, so he'll be looking to bounce back this season. The 33-year-old goaltender was far more effective in 2021-22, finishing with a 37-15-9 record, 2.22 GAA and .922 save percentage in 63 starts.

Markstrom will get the starting nod Sunday in the Flames' preseason opener against the Canucks, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old Markstrom is entering his fourth season in Calgary after a down 2022-23 campaign, in which he posted a 23-21-12 record with an .892 save percentage. He'll get an early chance to bounce back as the Flames open preseason play against Vancouver.

Markstrom allowed two goals on 29 shots in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom never had a chance to defend a lead in this contest, which saw the Flames eliminated from playoff contention. The 33-year-old netminder didn't help the cause much, going 1-1-2 despite allowing nine goals on 120 shots over his last four contests. With nothing to play for in their season finale Wednesday, the Flames could opt to give Dan Vladar one more start, as Markstrom's played the vast majority of the games down the stretch.

Markstrom stopped 31 of 33 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom gave up both goals in a span of 4:26 in the first period before settling down. The Flames were able to keep their playoff hopes alive with a third-period rally, but Markstrom gave up a tally to Andrei Kuzmenko in the shootout to make it a tougher road for his team heading into the last week of the season. The 33-year-old goalie is at 23-21-11 with a 2.94 GAA and an .892 save percentage through 58 appearances. The Flames' next game is a critical matchup versus the Predators on Monday, where the losing team is all but eliminated from contention.

Markstom will protect the road net in Saturday's game versus the Canucks, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Markstrom made 34 saves in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom gave up four goals in a loss to Chicago on Tuesday and was pulled against the Ducks in the start before that, but the Flames turned right back to the Swede in a must-win game against the team they're chasing for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Last year's Vezina Trophy runner-up rewarded that confidence by bricking up the cage after allowing a power-play goal to Kyle Connor in the first period while the Flames scored three unanswered goals to pull into a tie for the second wild card spot at 89 points. Calgary's still fighting an uphill battle since the Jets have a game in hand, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Markstrom in net for each of the team's final three games.

Markstrom will guard the road goal Wednesday versus the Jets, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom stopped just 19 of 23 shots Tuesday versus the Blackhawks. That loss makes this showdown between the Jets and Flames a critical matchup for the latter's playoff hopes. It will be Markstrom's seventh straight start, and he's gone 3-2-0 with a 3.20 GAA and an .885 save percentage over the previous six games.

Markstrom kicked out 19 of 23 shots in a 4-3 loss to Chicago on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom had his second straight rough start. He allowed two goals on nine shots in the first period of Sunday's contest and consequently was replaced by Dan Vladar for the second frame. Markstrom has a 22-21-10 record, 3.00 GAA and .889 save percentage in 56 games this season. Among the campaigns where the 33-year-old has appeared in at least 20 contests, his 2022-23 save percentage is the worst of his career.
